Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
On the 9th of January 2010, an intrepid group of ramblers set out from the Metropolitan Walkers to set up a new walking group for working age people across Greater London with a walk through the snow from Eltham to North Greenwich via the Green Chain Walks and the Thames Path.
I intend to led the same walk with a recreation of that first walk. The first walk started at Eltham but due to a bus replacement I intend to start at Mottingham
On the way, we'll see some great views of London, Eltham Palace, Severndroog Castle, the Thames barrier, and the tennis courts from the final scene of Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up (1966).
Travel:
Start from Mottingham Station (Zone 4, Southeastern Trains). End at North Greenwich Underground (Zones 2&3, Jubilee Line).
Take the 9.59 train to Strood from London Bridge arriving at Mottingham at 10.17
Exit points - The route intersects with many bus routes and goes near Charlton station.
No booking required- no need to email, text or call - just turn up.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors, such as weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
